They founded Moonshot in 2015 to build solutions for one of the most pressing challenges facing communities around the world: violent extremism.

Their experience working with governments, tech companies and communities revealed a major gap in the approach to this deadly problem. The lessons learned in addressing the underlying drivers to violent extremism offline simply weren’t being applied effectively online, where extremist propagandists and recruiters continue to prey on vulnerable individuals. They knew they needed to build better tech to apply those lessons well.

Moonshot has since expanded the scope of online threats and harms that they tackle. Today, they work to better understand and disrupt disinformation networks, gender-based violence, child sexual abuse and exploitation, and organized crime, among other harms. 

As a social impact business, they re-invest in research and development to further their mission, building evidence for new methodologies and regularly pushing the boundaries of their tech. Their team is also made up of some of the most impressive people they ’ve ever known, expert analysts and software developers with wide-ranging backgrounds and decades of experience in government, security tech and business.

They use all the tools at their disposal to provide a variety of clients with insights and interventions that protect them from malicious actors online, advance their missions and ultimately save lives. They work with global brands, governments, NGOs and tech companies big and small to deliver evidence-based solutions at scale. Most importantly, they remain committed to making the internet a safer place for everyone.
